🇺🇸 Shipping to the USA: Import Fees, Customs & Delivery Time Explained
Last updated: October 2025
✅ No Surprise Fees — U.S. Orders Are Fully Duty Paid
We know that ordering from Europe can raise questions: “Will I pay import taxes?” “Will customs delay my delivery?” At VanagonManiac, we make shipping to the USA simple, fast, and transparent.
All orders to the U.S. are shipped with Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) via FedEx Express. That means:
- ✔️ No extra charges at delivery
- ✔️
- ✔️ Full tracking and fast delivery
📦 What Is DDP Shipping?
Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) means we handle all import fees and customs paperwork — so you don’t have to.
Your package clears U.S. customs automatically. You won’t get surprise tax bills, COD charges, or delays.
⚠️ What Changed in 2025 — U.S. De Minimis Rule Ended
In August 2025, the United States removed its $800 duty-free threshold (called the “de minimis” exemption). That means even small shipments from Europe may now face customs taxes.
However, at VanagonManiac, this doesn’t affect you. Because we use DDP shipping with FedEx, your import fees are already covered. No delays, no surprises.
